Held at Members Choice Credit Union on May 22, 2024, this event allowed us to reflect on our accomplishments over the past year and discuss our future plans. It was a time for meaningful conversations, reflection, and shared enthusiasm for what lies ahead.
The people-helping-people philosophy is the cornerstone of the credit union movement. This core principle means that we prioritize the well-being of our members and the community over profit. It embodies our commitment to financial education, community support, and ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need to achieve financial stability. Our Annual Meeting exemplifies this philosophy by fostering a spirit of cooperation and mutual support through member feedback and meaningful and candid conversations. It is a forum where members can voice their opinions, share experiences, and contribute to the collective success of our credit union.
The meeting began with presentations from our Board and management team, offering a comprehensive review of the credit union's highlights from the previous year. The Board emphasized the important role of member participation in our cooperative. They also detailed the recent vote on the re-election of Johnny Williams as Board Chairman, reminding us of member-ownership at the core of our credit union's mission. Our CEO, Luke Billeri, also highlighted our member-centric programs and the significant strides we have made this year in enhancing savings, expediting services, and improving customer support.
Adding to the excitement, we unveiled our new free financial learning center, designed to help members of all ages and life stages achieve their financial goals. This initiative is our way of expressing gratitude and reinforcing the cooperative spirit of our credit union.
As the Annual Meeting ended, we were filled with excitement and gratitude. We deeply appreciate our member-owners who believe in the credit union movement, support their community, and trust us with their financial futures. Our achievements are a testament to your support, and we continue to grow because of you. To celebrate this collaborative spirit, we gifted our members with a variety of prizes with a fun raffle!
During the event, every question asked, feedback given, and positive interaction serves as a powerful reminder of our mission – building a strong community together. We recognize that our success is rooted in this shared commitment, and we are eager to continue this journey with you.
Thank you to our members for your invaluable feedback and for allowing us to serve you. We look forward to another year of financial success for us all, and we can’t wait to see you again next year.
